Personally, I'd be reluctant to "sell" this in the official docs as a 
solution for multi-variable arrays, as it would prompt people to 
complain that this is a quite unwieldy solution - and rightly so: It's 
not a solution at all; it was never /designed/ to fulfil this role, it's 
just a kludge that happens to work.

For the docs, I'd suggest to just mention that arrays with different 
element types can still live well alongside each other in an array of 
arrays.
